Use of zwave / set_config_parameter in home assistant

yep - infact i’ve done that for one of them and its working fine, but it does mean having to shut down HA and my user community moans :wink:

I’d like to see if I can do it in HA if I can, it looks like it can but the example syntax isn’t correct.

Any ideas?

Sorry, no idea. In fact I don’t think you can change the reporting without a restart. At least a service restart.
Could be wrong though.

Yeah I normally do a full restart after changing but still wondering the correct syntax for sending config changes via HA.

Anyone?

Looking at your log something is corrupted, because the example data is passed to service_data.
Either that, or you have just added the parameters below the example, and pasted that into the service data field.
The only thing that should be in Service Data field is:

"parameter": "5",
"value": "2"
}```

Hmm. Looks the same as the one I used

ok - so i retested, this is all I used:

{“entity_id”: “sensor.aeotec_zw074_multisensor_gen5_luminance_61”,
“parameter”: “5”,
“value”: “2”
}

And once executed HA process dies, nothing gets written to the “home-assistant.log” log file but there is a new entry in the “OZW_Log.txt” which is:

2016-10-18 18:05:41.856 Warning, Invalid Index Set on ValueList

Its basically exactly the same as whats on the HA site:

Any ideas?

Re tested this on the new 31 version and it’s still an issue.

Can I help debug it somehow?

Thanks!

Docs were incorrect. They have been updated now to be correct.

Payload should look like:

{
  "node_id": 42,
  "parameter": 5,
  "value": 2
}

Notice that none of the keys are strings either. The backend will coerce anything to int but just to be safe i’d suggest making everything int from the get go.

OK great thanks, I’ll test this tonight and let you know.

Cheers!

Seems to work great - thanks! Results below for the two PIR sensors I have now set to 2 minutes:

UPDATE: This is really neat! I just setup an Aeon Labs Minimote (just used “add node”) and then changed it to be a scene controller purely in HA by setting Parameter FA (250 in dec), Value 1 via:

{
“node_id”: 81,
“parameter”: 250,
“value”: 1
}

Before this I had to mess around stopping / starting OZWCP / Add then also use zensys-tools to set a custom parameter. No more! :slight_smile:

Nice! How would you do this in an automation? I have a Aeon labs Sirene that has multiple sounds and this would be nice to use to change the sounds.

@mark.carline Hi Mark, Did you have a chance to look at my question? Would love to know this. Thx

A quick look at the manual shows you need to change parameter 37 and value1 with 0 through 5 as settings. 0 is no change so 1 through 5 would change the sound. You can also change volume by using value2 and numbers 0 through 5 with 0 being no change.

@zarthan thanks for this but I probably was not clear. I mean; How do I use this setting (example below) of a parameter (or parameters) in an automation?

{
"node_id": 81,
"parameter": 250,
"value": 1
}

I would suggest you try
‘’‘{
“node_id”: 81,
“parameter”: 37,
“value1”: 2
}’‘’
Changing the node ID to match yours and making value1 somewhere between 0 and 5, again 0 being no change.
just copy the information and paste it into the services /zwave/set_config_parameter under “Service Data” and then click the Call Service button.

Sorry. You want it in an automation. I have no idea how you would do this.

@Tyfoon Something you might want to take into consideration, as you contemplate automating a siren sound change. If the siren is a warning sound, what might happen if something went wrong during a change, rendering the siren silent?

Fallback, but it’d work - Create a bash script and use cURL to access the API call. You’ll have to create a script for each version of the sound you’d like.

Good suggestion! I guess this is with the command line switch? Did not use this yet.
